A community for those who try to eat less animals and their products without hostility.

My only goal as the mod is to create a wholesome and on topic community. If I make any disagreeable decision do not hesitate to let me know.

I will remove comments and posts that are rude or off topic.

Yes. How do you receive them? Do you just reject it or try to regift or something.
People who gift me food know I do not eat animal carcasses or secretions, so I’ve never received food containing any of the two in all these years.
If it ever happened, I’d accept but also let them know not to do it next time, and explain why :)
The food would end at the office for my coworkers’ enjoyment.
Thanks for your reply! I am similar except I worry if the other persons will waste it and feel responsible...
No problem!
I understand! I’d do the same. “What if they don’t like it and they throw it away?” Such a waste of life.
Truth is, we cannot shoulder the responsibility for the whole chain of events. Someone gives us something we don’t eat. We decide not to eat it and give it to someone else.
The rest lies in someone else’s conscience.
Finally, if I wasn’t sure they’d eat it, I’d adopt a freegan approach and eat it myself.
By the way, I recommend you edit your post to add a short comment about the not plant-based confusion. I think you are being downvoted by people not taking the time to read and engage…
Thanks! That’s a fair point.
I missed that typo ;(
